A sensory bin is a container filled with different materials and tools to allow your child to explore their different senses such as touch, sight, hearing, and in some cases smell. Sensory bins are a way for your child to enrich their developing fine motor skills through creative play.
What are Fine Motor Skills?
Fine Motor Skills are movements and the coordination of small muscles within the hands, wrists, and fingers. This helps children perform every day tasks such as grasping objects, feeding themselves, and writing.
What are the benefits of a Sensory Bin?
Sensory experiences support language development, cognitive growth, and fine motor skills while exploring different textures and attributes through play. These skills enhance hand eye coordination, pincer grasp, and dexterity of the hands.
Sensory bins also enhance memory and help support children with emotional regulation when anxious or frustrated.
